Student Focus: Holly

I have enjoyed French from when I first started learning it at primary school, and I took a particular interest at GCSE. It made sense to go on to take it at A-level and I'm really glad I made that decision. We learn a more complex and sophisticated vocabulary which is very useful for everyday discussion, as well as conversational French.

Does it have any impact on your other chosen subjects?

Absolutely. I take Chemistry and Maths, and whilst French might seem irrelevant to these subjects, it has been a fantastic asset as it has helped me become a more confident and eloquent speaker. Similarly, working on the grammatical structures has helped with my analytical techniques which will be extremely valuable when I go on to study Chemistry and university.
